More Angel Fire Fun.....St. Patty's Day....

Look at these huge icicles!!!

See Lexi's green side ponytail for St. Patty's Day?

Craziness on St. Patty's Day!! They scooped out a pit and filled it with water for the daredevils. A snow mobile took snowboarders and skiers up to a point on the hill (roped off) and they came down and tried to cross the water. We only watched for a short time (it was a LONG walk up a BIG hill) and no one made it. They were all going into the water. Firefighters were pulling them out. They gave out prizes in different catagories once they closed it (the water started leaking out and it got too shallow). Brrrrr, see how they are dressed (or actually NOT!....lol). I can't even imagine how cold that water was!!

Sledding fun right by the house we stayed in.

Hope you are having a great week. I'll show you some final pictures on Friday.♥

" Who wants a million dollars"?That is the ONLY phrase that would get me even close to that pit of ice water!The sledding is more my speed, for sure!Thanks for sharing more great pictures with us!Catch up with you later.

Hi DarleneI am glad you took pictures to prove this craziness otherwise I would never have believed people would be so insane! The sledding looks lots of fun. I would have loved that. Lexi looks so natural on skiis.Lindsayx

Hi Darlene! It looks like you guys had a wonderful time (cept for your migraine :( I've never been skiing, but the folks that love it really love it...and it seems to be quite a great workout...if you don't break something first! :) We have a man-made ski area near by....my kids have both gone and enjoyed it. Unfortunately, it gets really icy some times when they have to make the snow. This year, I'll bet they didn't need to make much!

Yes, we are getting excited about the trip. I will e-mail you info about where we will be and when..in case you want/can to "zip" on to Canton! :)

It looks warm there only skiing in sweat shirts. You would never believe this but one of the area ski hills here had bikini races for their closing weekend. I don't even think I would have done that thirty years ago. It sounds like you had a great vacation. Welcome back.....

Hi Darlene,I'm catching up in Blogland tonight. I've been dying to come over and see all the fun you guys had at Angel Fire over Spring Break. I just KNEW Lexi would take right to skiing (like everything else she tries). : )I was sorry to hear about that headache in the post below. I'm glad it got better with time. I'm so glad you all had fun. The pic of you on the tube is Crazy Cute!! : )M.L.P.S. Those monster icicles were CRAZY!

Good morning Darlene, I am in Kissimmee, Fl. visiting my other daughter. Running the roads is beginning to be a habit. LOL. I am heading back to Jax. today. I still have a wedding to attend on Sunday. then home to NC on Monday. I admit to getting anxious to get back to a normal routine. I have had so little time to get on my computer. My daughter took my granddaughter to school so I am sneaking a few minutes to visit.

That water thing is new to me on the slopes. I can see it must have been fun to watch. Just another snow event for you all to enjoy. I love the sledding too. Your photos are like being there. I do miss those skiing years. Lexi is adorable in the photos. This is a vacation she will want to repeat. Our children loved skiing too, with all the fun things to do besides skiing as well.

Hi DarleneOh what fun! It looks like you had gorgeous sunny weather with blue skies. Those icicles ARE monsterous! wow.That water looks so cold and I can't imagine how they didn't just freeze to death!..brrrrrr...you would think that if the first few couldn't make it.....one might want to stay close to the firepit.

I'm glad you all had such a good time. Great memories and pictures.*hugs*Judi
